Hello all,


I'm intrested in providing a ControlContribution to my RCP application from a seperate plugin. So far I have a command button that is added to the toolbar via toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar#command. The button works fine. However when I try toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar#dynamic then I create a class that extends ControlContribution overriding createControl(). When the application launches I get:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in "xts.encdec" was unable to instantiate class "xts.encdec.PrimaryContributionControl".


Part of Plugin.xml

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions ">
<toolbar
id="xts.encdec.toolbars.main">
<command
commandId="xts.encdec.commands.go"
id="xts.encdec.menu.commands.go"
label="Go"
tooltip="Go">
</command>
<dynamic
class="xts.encdec.PrimaryContributionControl"
id="xts.encdec.menu.primarycontributioncontrol">
</dynamic>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
</extension>


PrimaryContributionControl.java:

package xts.encdec;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.ControlContribution;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

import dtv.xts.log.TracerLevel;

public class PrimaryContributionControl extends ControlContribution {

private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(PrimaryContributionControl.class);


public PrimaryContributionControl(String id) {
super(id);
LOG.log(TracerLevel.GUI, "Calling private constructor.");
}


@Override
protected Control createControl(Composite parent) {

LOG.log(TracerLevel.GUI, "Creating toolbar for EncDec Plug-in...");
//Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
//return text;
return null;
}

}


Any insight to this error would be great. Ultimately I want a plugin to provide a combo box textfield etc from a seperate plugin, but I would like to define this from plugin.xml if at all possible. I hope I explained myself well enough, still new to the RCP scene.

Thanks!


Oh I should add I don't want to go through ApplicationActionBarAdvisor#fillCoolBar because this plugin may be removed from my RCP app at any time.

have you tried overriding WorkbenchWindowControlContribution ?
Your created class has no no-args constructor therefore instantiation
via reflection fails...

Thanks Christian that worked out great.
